Which ones and why?

I sense a fun story and I’m here for it.

…trying?

Who would’ve thought that making your product more readily available would increase sales? That’s so much more counterintuitive than “double down on NFTs and release schedules that require knowledge of calculus to figure out.”

Seriously. For the same price as McD’s I can go to In-n-Out. That’s just comparing fast food places. For the price they’re charging for a Quarter Pounder I may as well go to a sit-down restaurant.

If you compare that to the average cost of living in Japan it’s a bit closer to $300 in terms of spending power.

Either way it’s a lot cheaper than I’d expect to have to pay anyone for sex work, much less something that blatantly illegal.

Oh, as for the age of consent thing that change just made it a national crime. Every prefecture in Japan had already raised the age of consent to 16 (or higher) well before last year. The only places it didn’t apply were some remote military bases and IIRC the portion of Antarctica that Japan claims. Still a good move but it’s not like Japanese pedos were just having sex with 13-year-olds without consequence before then.

There? Really? There is where you draw the line? Killing a dog is fine, but lying about meeting a dictator is too far? Just trying to keep track here.

Screw it, go make the actual Starship Troopers game not suck. That thing is in dire need of help.

While 177 countries sounds like a lot, it’s not where the majority of players are. PSN operates in the top 15 countries by GDP and the top 4 by population.

Of course there’s still the question of why they work in so few countries when literally none of their competitors (that I know of) have those limitations.

Local safety regulations require a breathalyzer test before you’re allowed upstairs.

My high school had a “no hats indoors” rule and even that was regarded as dumb. No hats at all? Screw you if you wanna keep the sun out of your eyes I guess?

No hats. Toques are allowed, everything else is banned.

It’s always rough when a gang of Chefs take over a school.

Supposedly there was a similar policy at my elementary school early on, which led to a kid being forced to eat something they were allergic to. As the story goes, they vomited violently all over the lunch monitor and then had to be taken to the nurse’s office. Their parents were not amused. The policy did not stay in place.

Knowing him this is less of a matter of conscience and more a “fuck it I’mma burn this bitch to the ground on the way out”.

My dude, prices were shooting up well before Biden entered office.

If nothing else, it pretty well cuts off any claims they might make about not being aware they were not in compliance. It speeds cases along once they do get to court, plus there’s the prospect of fines, so on.

Done in one.

I said this elsewhere, but without knowing what specific integrated graphics card you’re using (e.g. Intel HD 4000 series) it’s hard to give specific recommendations. Generally though there’s a range of things that will work:

• Any game released 7±ish years before the laptop was manufactured.

• Most 2D games released 4±ish years before the laptop was manufactured.

• Anything that has an Android/iOS version.

• Emulated games for anything from 2 console generations ago or more (e.g. OG Xbox, Playstation 2). Also the PC releases of those games (e.g. Knights of the Old Republic)

Yeah, we’d need to know the gpu or even vague specs on the laptop to give a good answer.

Even assuming that OP is talking about Intel Integrated Graphics that’s still a huge range depending on which series it is.

Yep, specifically a post-scarcity society that is absent the concept of money.

He got better.
